Order of Business
11:00 am
Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)
I call on the Leader to make arrangements with the Minister to have this Bill taken off the agenda for tomorrow. He did not expect us to oppose it. Members from the west and Tipperary who had planned to tour new constituencies and new areas and shed crocodile tears about lost areas can think again. They will have to be present in the House to vote if they want the Bill to pass because Fianna Fáil will vote against it. We think the Bill should be delayed. It should not be passed because it is anti-democratic. We must put democracy first and forget about cronyism and jobbery.
